Matías Soulé is expected to leave AS Roma in the near future, with the club willing to entertain offers for the Argentine winger. Since joining from Juventus for €25 million, Soulé has registered 12 goals and 13 assists across 81 appearances over two seasons. His agent, Martin Guastadisegno, recently visited Roma's training center to assess the situation. Soulé would prefer to stay but is prepared to accept a departure if the club accepts an offer. Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Borussia Dortmund are particularly interested, with interest also coming from Turkey. Roma has valued him at €35–40 million, which would generate a €20 million profit on the original transfer fee.
Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini reportedly favors selling Soulé over defending midfielders Evan N'Dicka or Manu Koné, suggesting the coach sees limited upside in his development. The player's form dipped late in the previous campaign due to a sports hernia. Meanwhile, Roma is progressing toward renewing Paulo Dybala's contract, with both sides close to agreement despite initial differences. The club is also intensely pursuing Mason Greenwood, though his asking price remains significant. Any arrival of a top attacking talent alongside Dybala could create redundancy in the squad, making Soulé's departure logical from a tactical standpoint.

Matias Soulé is the most likely Roma centerpiece to depart in short order, as his two seasons in the Eternal City have been fine but not strong enough to make him untouchable.According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his agent, Martin Guastadisegno, recently paid a visit to the Trigoria training center to take stock. The winger tallied 12 goals and 13 assists in 81 appearances since joining from Juventus in a €25M move. He was slowed down by a sports hernia in the back-end of the last campaign.Soulé wouldn’t mind staying, but wouldn’t dig his heels in if Roma took an offer. He’s being targeted in particular by Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Borussia Dortmund. He’s also generating interest in Turkey. He has a €35/40M valuation, which would lead to a €20M ‘plusvalenza.’ Gian Piero Gasperini favors selling him over Evan N’Dicka or Manu Koné.In the same role, the Giallorossi are closing in on Paulo Dybala’s renewal. His camp counter-proposed the club’s offer, asking for a little more, but the difference isn’t huge. Moreover, the capital club is intensely tracking Mason Greenwood despite his lofty price tag.Our Take on Roma and SouléHe’s been pretty productive, but his last few seasons have pretty much all been the same, as he got off to brilliant starts before eventually wearing down. Gasperini must not be high on his upside or ability to hold up for an entire season if they are dangling him. There would indeed be a logjam if Dybala stayed and they added another top-notch attacker. However, they should tread carefully and only accept major bids to avoid regrets, as the Argentine is only 23 after all.
